S4E2: Drop that Quill! (Shabbat 1:3-4)

In today’s episode, we discuss decrees the rabbis made to keep people from absent-mindedly violating other prohibitions, such as carrying work tools on Shabbat. We are introduced to the idea of “Bo Bayom”, a day where the student of Shammai outnumbered the students of Hillel and made 18 laws in the beit midrash. You can find these mishnas here.    I’m excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a class for the Valley Beit Midrash on the topic of “What does the Mishna Teach us about the People who Wrote it?” on Thursday, September 10 at 10am PST/1pm EST.
